That chart has always made me lol. They consider Ketamine to be more harmful than Benzos, Tobacco, for fucks sake SOLVENTS?!! K, I'll remember to go huff paint/petrol instead the next time I get the urge for a line. Ket is one of the safest substances there is unless you IV it, or combine with alcohol (STUPID).
I'm going to have to go with #3 myself also. Although I do not consider simple possession of most substances a "crime", no matter what TPTB have to say about it.
Sadly, I haven't had the opportunity in a long while; I saged the drug-using types from my life when I decided to become an anxiety-riddled recluse a few years ago. Of course, I still do massive amounts of Kratom, which is illegal in some parts of the world (Australia being one of the major areas).
4TTCP, your post made me more than a bit jealous - I would gladly pay upwards of $100 at this point for a proven dose of MDMA. That is how desperate I am at this point for the mental clarity it can provide. I agree with you that weed is much more interesting used to enhance something else than by itself, and I have experienced the CEV's you described a small handful of times using some VERY potent strains. It's pretty amazing those effects can come simply from marijuana.
TL;DR - Drugs have been a blessing to me throughout the years. It is only when I chose to misuse and disrespect them that they became a curse.
